One of our Linux (CentOS 7.5) servers got unreachable sometimes.

The only solution what i have is systemctl restart network.
And I found the fact that I could not ping any outside hosts and vice versa.

So I replaced the server with new server to solve this problem but i got the same problem on new server. (But another interface for our private network always reachable.)

network detail:

System logs are surprisingly clear.

Any log files seem to indicate no error except for errors due to network stopped.
Please let me know the best steps to find out problem. I have no clue anymore.

  • Maybe it's not the server but your infrastructure? If the same thing happens to two different servers, I'd get massively suspicious about anything connected, i.e. switches, routers, cables, etc.

  • I thought the same thing first time, but it's weird that network came back with just a single command. My opinion could be wrong because i am a developer so I might not know the whole picture of our infrastructure. So i told our infra engineer the thing you said. Thanks for your comment. :) @Lenniey
